The Portico Entrance to
Jackson Library grew brighter and more beautiful in December, when a local
garden company donated violas to create two large beds on either side of the
stairs leading into the building from College Avenue.
The flowers
are the gift of High Performance Flowers,
which operates at the Colfax Farmer's Market off Sandy Ridge Road during the growing season. After
a conversation with a customer who also works in the University Libraries, Michael
Turner, UNCG class of 2005, and the company owner, Branson Davis, class of 2000,
decided to donate some their flowers for us to enjoy. Michael, in
particular, says he used to spend a lot of time in our library when he was in
school, and was happy to work with Branson to arrange this gift to us. Thanks for giving back, gentlemen.
Thanks also to Kevin Siler, Jeff Hawkins, Chris Fay and our other groundspeople for preparing and planting the beds for us.
